Excellent B+B. It is situated just off an A-road so is easy enough to find, but still exceptionally quiet. Very welcoming arrival, First impressions where quite literally Wow! the attention to detail that Mark and Sarah have applied throughout the entire place is fantastic. Fair sized room, with the space used very wisely. The bed was the biggest and most... More

Four of us stayed here in early May 2013. Having not stayed in a B&B before we were a little apprehensive. All concerns were blown away within seconds, great attention has been paid to all furnishings and aminities. The hosts could not have been more helpful and breakfast was a joy. Although next to an A road dont be put... More

My fiancee and I stayed at Bodiwan, in Mimosa Cottage, and I can't recommend it enough. Superb place to stay, great food, great location, Mark and Sarah can't help you enough. We made use of the hot tub on the second night, when it was near freezing - the hot tub was quite the opposite and on a beautiful clear... More

I stayed at Bodiwan for two nights with my boyfriend. I can't recommend this B&B enough...the welcome was great, the room lovely and spotlessly clean and the breakfast was the best I have had at a bed & breakfast for a long, long time. Bodiwan is a great base from which to explore the surrounding area. We visited Portmeirion, the... More

This is a beautiful B&B run with warmth and friendliness. Immaculately clean, an excellent breakfast, very comfy bed and well located for exploring Snowdonia. Our host's recommendations for things to do in the area were excellent and certainly helped our trip along. I can definitely recommend this B&B and we would return if we are in the area again.
